Lace up your running shoes for the scenic Colchester Causeway 5K, 10K & 15K Running Race, set for Saturday, June 6, 2026, in beautiful Colchester, VT. Starting and finishing at Airport Park, this chip-timed event invites runners of all levels to experience a truly unique course along the historic Colchester Causeway. Participants will traverse flat dirt and gravel trails that extend directly onto Lake Champlain, offering breathtaking panoramic views of diverse wetlands, the majestic Adirondack Mountains, and Vermont's own Green Mountains.

This out-and-back course is renowned for its minimal elevation gain, making it an accessible and enjoyable race for both seasoned runners and those looking for a picturesque personal best. As you run, you'll be treated to stunning vistas that have earned the Causeway recognition as one of New England's most gorgeous trails.

Beyond the rewarding miles and spectacular scenery, your participation in the Colchester Causeway race supports a vital cause, with proceeds dedicated to the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the Causeway for future generations. Finish your race strong back at Airport Park, where post-race refreshments and a commemorative t-shirt await to celebrate your achievement. Please note that 10K and 15K entrants must be at least 12 years old, and the event is focused on running, with walkers generally not permitted during the race.
